Software Development Intern
PCC has many member companies, but the network is still hard to activate. Data is fragmented, introductions are slow, and businesses struggle to find the right partners fast enough to act on opportunities.
No resume needed. Response in 24 hours.
Internship overview
This internship will be like no other.
You are going to build a platform that will solve one of PCCI's biggest problems.
It's like LinkedIn, but localized for Philippine businesses. Your initial users will be us, PCCI, the largest business organisation in the Philippines with 80,000 member companies.
And yes, this sounds like too big of a project to give to an intern, but we're doing it anyway.
Most internships give you grunt work. Here, you'll be given a lot of resources, freedom, and mentorship to bring this dream to reality. You'll be given tasks that you are not qualified to do, but that means you'll grow faster.
This project is the perfect opportunity to give you industry exposure. Not only are you shipping a solution to a live problem that involves real business owners, but you are also placed within close proximity to the businesses involved.
By the end of it, you'll have a project you can show, and a story that will make any employer want to hire you.
And BTW, we don't look at grades or resumes. Check the challenge for more details.
Project details
PCCI has 80,000 businesses in its network. But it's hard for these businesses to talk to each other.
Businesses like these usually try to connect with each other to find the best partnerships that optimize their line of work.
But in a sea of thousands of members with no centralized contact list, it's almost impossible for businesses to find each other in this community.
This internship involves working closely with members of PCCI and their data. The goal is to create a platform that makes it easier for businesses to find each other, and to network when they do.
But most important of all, the platform should incentivize businesses to connect. Sometimes, businesses within PCCI aren't even held back by the lack of a platform: some businesses just prefer not to respond to requests because they're used to their usual sets of connections and don't bother looking for more.
What Success Looks Like
A company can complete onboarding and profile setup quickly in one clear flow.
Members can identify and request relevant introductions without slow manual routing.
Incentives increase profile completeness and improve inquiry response consistency.
You can clearly explain business impact, product decisions, and tradeoffs from a real organizational problem, not a simulated exercise.
